CCLI:EMD: Matlab Antenna Toolbox

该项目为国家教育界提供了一个天线模型，该模型与MATLAB软件包一起使用，以说明与天线设计相关的复杂现象，以及物理特性，电磁场的传播特性以及无线通信系统物理层的重要方面。正在开发的教育材料是独一无二的，因为它使用计算平台MATLAB提供全波电磁解决方案，MATLAB是全球大多数电气工程学生理解的唯一通用计算语言。其他计算教育材料提供用Fortran编写的软件，因此本科生不容易获得。其他可用的基于MATLAB的天线分析和设计软件利用近似，因此，它们不包括与特定设计相关的所有物理。 这MATLAB天线工具箱代表了一个独特的和有价值的贡献，教育聚宝盆，可供教师谁教本科生水平。此外，该工具箱将与学生熟悉的其他分析工具和代码以互补的方式使用。因此，通过铸造天线设计和分析在一个熟悉的形式（如MATLAB的键盘）的困难的主题，并利用MATLAB的全部功能，集成图形用户界面，高效的计算和图形输出，预计教师将更好地响应所有学生的天线设计和分析课程的不同学习风格。因此，这些课程的学生保留率应该更好。

This project provides the national educational community with an Antenna Toolbox that is used with the MATLAB package to illustrate complex phenomena related to the design of antennas, and with the physical features, the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic fields, and the important aspects of the physical layer for a wireless communication system. The educational material being developed is unique in that it provides full-wave electromagnetic solutions using a computing platform, MATLAB, which is the only universal computational language understood by the majority of electrical engineering students worldwide. Other computational educational materials provide software written in Fortran, and hence are not readily accessible to undergraduate students. Other available MATLAB-based software for antenna analysis and design utilize approximations and hence, they do not include all the physics associated with a particular design. This MATLAB ANTENNA TOOLBOX represents a unique and valuable contribution to the educational cornucopia that is available to faculty who teach at the undergraduate student level. Furthermore, this toolbox is to be used in a complementary fashion with other analysis tool and codes that the students are familiar with. Therefore, by casting the difficult subject of antenna design and analysis in a familiar form (e.g. a MATLAB Toolbox) and to utilize the full capabilities of MATLAB to integrate graphical user interface, efficient computation, and graphical output, it is expected that the faculty will better respond to the different learning styles of all students taking antenna design and analysis courses. Hence, student retention in these courses should be better.
